Stupid me didn't make a backup and flashed another ROM. How do I flash back the stock ROM, enabling me to get OTAs but maintain root? I want the original stock ROM...

Not really much of a point having the ability to get OTA when a new one comes out, a dev will do what is below shortly after anyway. OTA's are over rated..
Android OS, 4.1.1 Jellybean build JRO03D
Insecure boot.img
Rooted with the latest superuser
Busybox
Deodexed and Odexed options
Fully Zipaligned

Note that the downloads apparently don't work at the moment.
If you used the nexus root toolkit, it has the factory image there for you to flash back to stock and/or unroot/relock the device. Windows users only. -Ara

So is there no flashable zip for stock? I am a Mac. I rooted on my little brother's PC but he lives 1600 miles from me.

Did you take a look at the [Guide] Returning to Stock and/or Unbricking your device directions in the Nexus 7 Android Development forum?
If using a Mac, see the following link for setting up ADB/Fastboot drivers on Mac OS X.
How to Setup ADB and FASTBOOT Drivers on MAC
Edit to add: Factory image for the Nexus 7 can be downloaded at this Google link.

OK little preface, when I got my N7 I updated to 4.2.1, unlocked the boot loader and rooted with no issues. I found the zip for the 4.2 tablet ui and flashed it though TWRP. For whatever reason that soft bricked my N7. I completely spaced making a backup so I was stuck. I was able to flash the stock 4.2.1 firmware and got it back up and running. now I am trying to reroot my tablet but it's not working. I've tried flashing the superuser zip through recovery and also tried using the toolkit to push the needed files and nothing has worked so I'm at a loss

Xda is not your personal tech support. That being said, flash stock and fastboot OEM lock.
Beamed from my Grouper.
Does anyone have the flashable grouper OTA zip? I know they are already rooted 4.3 ROMs but I rather use the OTA zip.
Thanks in advance.

Download the factory image from this official link and flash it on your Nexus. Don't forget to backup your data first as flashing it will erase your device completely.

could you tell me the steps that you follow to install the factory image?
Easiest is to use Wugfresh's Nexus Tool Kit.
Otherwise if you're rooted with custom recovery, you can find a flashable version in one of the Dev threads.
Follow the instructions in the OP of either method and all will go well.
Here you go, follow this guide.

Did you create a Nandroid backup with either ClockworkMod Recovery or TWRP? This would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. If not, efrant wrote an awesome guide for returning the Nexus 4 back to stock

You don't flash factory images with recovery, you use fastboot.

It's all in the link that Acuity posted, just read it step by step and you'll end up back to stock.
I want to root my Nexus 4 and install newest CM. One problem is, that there is Android 4.4 update comming soon. So if I root my Nexus and install CM, can I get my phone back to stock and update Android to 4.4?
Yes. You can either flash the 4.4 images, or simply install a 4.4 based custom ROM (the more practical solution my opinion) since you will already have installed a custom recovery.

If I have CM installed, can I somehow get everything to stock. Like my Nexus 4 just came out of box?

So I've neglected my nexus for long enough. To go from 4.1.1 to 4.4 do I just flash a new ROM or do I need to flash a new kernel and firmware first??

Get the factory image, extract it and open the extracted folder, if you're using linux run "flash-all.sh" / windows run "flash-all.bat" while your nexus is connected in FastBoot mode. If you open the script in a text editor you will see that everything is already in it.
